Chapter 161: Riding Together
The warmth of Chunqin's palm had faded away, her eyes were dull, and her hand slipped down.
"Haruko, Haruko."
No matter what Gu Feixue did, it was of no use.
Chunqin could never open her eyes again.
She was used to the separation of life and death, and thought that she had no special feelings about death. But when she watched Chunqin pass away suddenly, she felt inexplicably sad. She blamed herself for being careless, otherwise Chunqin would have left with her.
Gu Feixue sighed, stood up and left.
At this moment, night fell and the government office was in chaos. After coming out of the dungeon, the sky outside was bright with moonlight and clear with breeze. Gu Feixue jumped over the wall with her super skills and quickly disappeared into the night.
Coming out of the government office, she walked forward in a daze. She had only taken a few steps when she heard the cuckoo calling.
She perked up and followed the sound, and saw a sneaky dark shadow from a distance.
Rong Xing!
The two looked at each other, Rong Xing looked at Gu Feixue in astonishment, "Ah, you're in disguise? Where's my master?"
"This..." Gu Feixue was evasive. Rong Xing looked behind him and didn't see Rong Qi. "My master was murdered?"
"How could it be?" Gu Feixue sighed, "We split up and acted separately. Your master fell into someone's trap."
Rong Xing complained, huffing, "We've protected you so many times along the way, Xue'er, you really know how to repay kindness with ingratitude. Just seeing my master being captured, you're just going to get away with it?"
"This... is an emergency situation," Gu Feixue looked at Rong Xing, who was angry and embarrassed. "I didn't expect Xue'er that you would do this..."
Gu Feixue said righteously, "When we entered the basement, it was dark and the paths stretched in all directions. It was pitch dark. He was the vanguard and I was the rearguard. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late. I had to escape alone, otherwise we would have been wiped out."
Rong Xing blinked his eyes. "Never mind. I believe you, but what should we do now?"
Rong Xing was at a loss.
Gu Feixue looked around, "Where is our carriage?"
"It's on the roadside." Rong Xing drove the carriage over.
Gu Feixue got into the car. Rong Xing looked worried, with many thoughts flashing through his mind.
Gu Feixue felt lost and it took a long time before she came up with two plans.
"Leave me at the next intersection and go find my master."
"You want me to go find Duke Zheng?" Rong Xing scratched his head. "I'm afraid distant water can't quench immediate thirst."
Gu Feixue shook her head. "They are planning to make a big profit with a small investment. I bet not only will they not harm Rong Qi, but with your master's eloquence, they might even be able to turn him from a prisoner into a guest of honor."
Gu Feixue laughed at herself.
There really was no better strategy at the moment. Rong Xing looked at his horse and composed himself. "I'm going to go find Duke Zheng right now. What about you?"
"I'll wait for you at Zuifugui Restaurant. Don't delay on the way, come and go quickly." Gu Feixue said.
Normally, she and Rong Xing would often chat and joke around, and they were rarely so serious. Rong Xing knew that time was running out, so he didn't dare to make jokes. After saying goodbye, he rode his horse at full speed and disappeared on the road.
Gu Feixue arrived at Zuifugui. Fortunately, she had enough money, so she chose a No. 1 room to rest.
The shopkeeper was curious to see Gu Feixue staying alone, and seeing that Gu Feixue was generous, he asked the waiter to serve him wholeheartedly.
"Do you have pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" She rewarded him with two taels of silver. The second brother was overjoyed and soon sent the four treasures of the study over. Gu Feixue wrote a letter to Yuchi Shuo in the same way as before.
The strokes are concise and clear, and the content is vividly displayed on the paper, without any obstructions.
Although there are not a single word, the extremely impactful picture expresses everything.
She found a pigeon to send a letter to Yuchi Shuo.
In the East Palace, Yuchi Shuo was chatting with someone. A few people opposite him were wearing strange clothes, their faces covered with dust and their hair was as white as frost.
They came to the capital to make a living and do business.
Chang'an is big and it is not easy to live there.
There are countless business people in the imperial capital, and all five elements and eight industries are saturated. If you want to stand out here, it is not enough to rely on intelligence and capital, but you also need to adapt to the situation and develop a pair of sharp eyes.
Some of these businessmen came from Jiangzhou, and some came from Liangcheng.
"You have come from afar, exhausted and tired. You must have suffered greatly from hunger and thirst along the way. I have prepared a small drink to welcome you."
He has recently started to frequently come into contact with business people.
Firstly, I wanted to make sound in Teikyo.
Secondly, I wanted to learn about Gu Feixue's recent situation through them.
The court has been very busy lately, and he often wants to go find her, but he is too busy to do so.
Seeing that the prince was courteous to the wise and humble, everyone was confused.
Therefore, even if there were fine wine and delicious food, no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.
Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Yuchi Shuo started eating first. "You guys eat. Today, the palace is celebrating with the people. I have no ulterior motive in summoning you all here. I just want to inquire about someone."
After hearing this, everyone felt much more relieved.
He promised to let them join the local Chamber of Commerce and have a bright future. Seeing that the prince wanted to know about Gu Feixue, everyone started chatting with her one by one.
Everyone praised Gu Feixue highly.
"I've tried the Yanjing roast duck she made, and the taste is unforgettable." One person raised his thumb and smacked his lips.
A Hu Ji smiled and saluted, waving her sleeves. "Your Highness, can you smell the fragrance of this madder? Miss Chunyue said these spices were purified and extracted from plants by Miss Gu. Although they are expensive, the fragrance lingers for a long time, making them well worth the money."
"Oh, by the way," one of the Semu people said with longing, "My birthday is next month. I hope I can still order a cream cake by then. Miss Gu, you have a brilliant idea. Nowadays, people in our area always have cream cake for their birthdays. What a damn sense of ritual."
According to Yuchi Shuo, the products independently developed by Gu Feixue are all affordable for ordinary people. In a situation where everyone is picky and it is difficult to satisfy everyone, Gu Feixue can achieve a unified taste and maintain high sales, which really shows that she has some skills.
He listened with great interest.
Some merchants even took out the embroidered feathered robes made by Gu Feixue.
Yuchi Shuo couldn't help laughing when he saw her. "It's amazing that she has so many wonderful ideas. I guess many businessmen in the capital would be ashamed of themselves."
In fact, up to now, no one in Jiangcheng or Liangcheng has been able to compete with Gu Feixue in the business empire.
She is alone and invincible.
Everyone praised her highly. Yuchi Shuo asked a lot of questions, and the group of people answered them in detail and in a clear and logical manner.
At this moment, Ye San, the manager of the study, arrived and saluted at the door.
Yuchi Shuo understood what he meant.
"how?"
"Your Highness, please take a look at this. Miss Gu has already gone to Jiangzhou. It seems she is in great danger."
This simple letter seems to be clear at a glance, but it actually contains a lot of information.
After he took a look, he suddenly became nervous.
